The Washington Center experience is an academic semester built around an internship. It offers students a unique integration of work and academics through which you gain valuable professional experience and earn credits towards graduation requirements.

Ready. Set. Go.

CCP at TU

Students attend classes on our beautiful campus and blend in with our diverse campus family. Courses held on campus during the fall and spring semesters are 1 hr. 15 minutes long, held twice weekly, for 15-weeks. Schedules can be found online on TU’s online portal, MyDragon, under the “Student Services” tab. Click the drop down menu, choose “Schedules & Bulletins” then “Undergraduate Course Schedules” at the top of the screen. Students must meet any prerequisites and will need a TU username and password to access this information.

CCP Online

Students virtually participate in TU classes, asynchronously, online with other Tiffin University students, including traditional, college-age students, adult students, and other CCP students. All TU Online courses are 7-weeks. Students may not take more than 2 online courses per term. Students may choose courses from TU’s Academic Bulletin. Students may choose any course for which they meet the prerequisite.

CCP at the High School

Students remain in their high school and one of Tiffin University’s faculty or adjunct professors go to the high school to teach the TU course. Students take college courses without leaving their high school! CCP at the High School is available at select high schools and by pre-arrangement only. Students should ask their guidance counselor or contact TU's Director of Special Academic Programs if they are unsure if CCP at the High School is an option for them.

Withdrawing from Classes

If a student no longer wants to participate in the CCP Program before the TU course has ended or must withdraw from a TU course for other reasons, he or she must email the CCP Advisor {ccp@tiffin.edu} with a request to be withdrawn from the course. This must be done within a two week period of the term or semester starting.

Students' failure to request withdrawal from a TU course before the set deadline may be charged by their school district to repay any fees incurred by the district for the withdrawn course.

If the student withdraws from a TU course that was intended to fulfill a high school graduation requirement, it is the student's responsibility to meet with his or her high school guidance counselor to develop a new course schedule. While always willing to assist students, Tiffin University is not responsible for meeting students' high school graduation requirements.

How To Apply

A College Credit Plus (CCP) student is a student currently enrolled in high-school that is non-degree seeking at Tiffin University. CCP students are not eligible to receive financial aid through Tiffin University.

Request current high school transcripts to be sent to:

Tiffin University
ATTN: CCP
155 Miami Street
Tiffin, Ohio 44883

Transcripts are available through the student's high school guidance counselor and must be sent to Tiffin University. If the student has already taken a standardized test, the student's scores will be printed on the transcript. Your transcript can be emailed to ccp@tiffin.edu.

YOU SUBMITTED YOUR ONLINE APPLICATION...NOW WHAT?!

After we have received a student's online application, official transcript and test scores, he or she will be admitted to the CCP program if all admission requirements are satisfied.

Upon admission to TU's CCP Program, students will receive an acceptance letter with a Course Selection Sheet. Students should indicate which courses they wish to take during the semester and return the selection sheet using the envelope provided. There is also a return email address if students prefer electronic communication over traditional mail.

Students will not be registered for courses each semester until a signed course selection sheet has been submitted.

When choosing TU courses, students should consider the following:

College Credit Plus participants may take a maximum 15 credit hours per semester. In addition, Tiffin University allows a maximum of two online courses per term (there are two 7-week terms in a semester: Term I and Term II) for any student, which totals 12 credits per semester.

Students participating in both seated and online courses in one semester cannot exceed these guidelines, including any TU credit hours taken at the student's high school.

Books, Fees & Additional Information

CCP at TU and CCP Online students are responsible for picking up their books before each semester/term. Students can make arrangements with the College Credit Plus Advisor to pick up their books on campus. If the student's high school is within a 30-mile radius of Tiffin University, textbooks will be delivered to the high school's guidance counselor for disbursement. CCP Online students that live outside of a 30-mile radius can request via e-mail that the College Credit Plus Advisor ship their course material to their home address.

Tiffin University will cover the expense of the books and supplemental fees. The School District must ensure that the students return all books provided by the University to the College Credit Plus Advisor one week after the end of the semester. The School District must advise that if books are lost, stolen, damaged, or not returned, it is the student's responsibility to replace the books required for each course at the full cost of the replacement book(s). Replacement books are purchased through the University's Bookstore and will be charged to the student's account as a result of the book not being returned to Tiffin University. The School District must advise that if a student has a balance on their University account, that student will not be able to request an official transcript.
